Paul is claiming that you can't be a christian without the bodily resurrection of christ. So in either that's what he's saying, is that there's no hope in salvation either. As some guide died, and it sounded like a neat story, but it's meaningless cause, you know, generic spiritual truth is disembodied and not really real,. Just a neat myth or a metaphor or he did rise from the dead.
“If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain,” writes the apostle Paul (1 Cor. 15:14), situating the resurrection as the central claim of Christianity—the foundation for the entire biblical worldview. But why is it so important? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Eric Landry, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Doug Powell discuss Christ’s resurrection as a unique claim among world religions. They also work through “The Minimal Facts” put forward by Gary Habermas, equipping listeners with an agreed-upon baseline for proving the historicity of the resurrection and evaluating objections.
